The story of Easter unfolds in this festive celebration by Allen Pote with a contrasting middle section featuring text from the hymn "Now the Green Blade Riseth". The conclusion is a triumphant exaltation of "Christ is Risen, Alleluia!" Optional parts for Brass (3-trumpets, 2-trombones) and Timpani make this a glorious celebration of the resurrection.
